Hi Alan:
Is there some reason why you continue to put cat food outdoors? Unless your
"cats" are lions, I don't get it. I live in a county with lots of skunks,
raccoons, and what have you, and people here get very upset with people who
put attractive food outdoors. Fortunately not many human cases of rabies
(yet).
